Hello.
I'm not sure if this query is better suited to the construction department, but I found more similar issues in this department than there.
In a newly built apartment, I want to install a bus to the home automation network. The bus will be 1-wire or some serial (RS485 type). I'm going to put the SFTP twisted pair (each pair in a separate screen).
The general contractor wants some terrible money from me because of the need to make furrows in the concrete on the conduits. In addition, I'm afraid that later I may have trouble pulling the cable through these conduits (they may cut them somewhere or bend them too sharply ...)
Are there cables that can be laid just like electric cables, just under plaster and in the floor? I have the impression that even an ordinary twisted pair should withstand such treatment. How about a twisted pair instead of a wire?
Can you advise which solution to choose? If it were to be a gigabit network, I would not hesitate and throw the few thousand on the conduits. But here bandwidth hardly matters ...
Maybe someone has already successfully done similar experiments?
